Plastic found along the Australian coast is ours

CSIRO Reports and Information

The world's largest collection of marine debris information has identified Australia's coastal rubbish is mainly plastic from Australian sources. In a report in September 2014, CSIRO scientist Denise Hardesty says her team surveyed sites approximately every 100 km along the Australian coastline. “We found about three-quarters of the rubbish along the coast is plastic,” she says. “Most is from Australian sources, not the high seas, with debris concentrated near cities.”
